Quilting Progress Update

Morning!!!

It's February!  January was extremely long and a lot has happened.  Sadly we lost a legend, Kobe Bryant and the world is facing the effects of the Coronavirus.  Despite everything that happened in January we need to strive to make 2020 a great year.  We can't give up on our goals.  Keep focus and push through obstacles.

We're making progress on the quilt. Making a quilt is not a light task. Theres multiple steps and the hardest part is the size of the project.   Literally the size.  The larger the quilt the harder it is to maneuver it into the sewing machine.
So far, I have cut out the blocks sewed them together.

After sewing the blocks together I sewed the pieces to batting.  It was not easy to maneuver the batting and blocks on the sewing machine. 


During this adventure, there's 2 books that i used to guide me through the process.  I have listed the 2 books below.

1. Quilter's Precut Companion: Handy Reference Guide by Missouri Star Quilt Co.
2. Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern: Fresh Techniques for Busy Quilters by Jera Brandvig

These 2 books were heaven sent.  Next up is meandering.  Wish me luck.

I'm making good timing with my Sewing Plan for this quarter.
